Simple tips to get more streams on Spotify

Getting more streams on Spotify is a common goal for many music artists, and there are several actions you can take to help increase your streams on the platform. Here are some simple tips:

Optimize Your Spotify Profile

Ensure your artist profile is complete, including a high-resolution profile picture, an engaging bio, and links to your social media profiles and website. Use keywords in your bio that accurately describe your music style and genre to improve discoverability.

Be sure to use all the tools that Spotify gives you, such as uploading canvas to your songs, listing upcoming gigs and highlighting your favorite playlists.

Investing in paid ads gives you the chance to easily reach potential fans and it is very flexible on the budget needed, you can start a campaign with a low budget to start testing it. You have to take into consideration that each platform is different, consumption and discovery may vary depending on the platform.

Pitch to Spotify Playlists

Pitch your songs to Spotify's editorial playlists and to independent curated playlists. While getting featured can be competitive, it can significantly boost your streams if successful.
